UNITED STATES ABRAHAM GOLD, or NEW YORK, n. Y.

\VINDOW-CLEANERS SEAT.

Application filed June 12, 1924.

1 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM GOLD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved lVindow-Cleanefs Seat, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in window cleaners seats.

It is one of the primary objects of the invention to provide a window cleaners seat in which there is a back rest of a flexible nature.

It is a further object of the invention to provide means for attaching the flexible back member to the frame of the window being operated upon.

It is a further object of the invention to provide a new and improved means for limiting the movement of the seat member in a direction outwardly of the window being operated upon.

With the above and other objects in view reference is had to the accompanying drawing, in wl1ich Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the manner of use of a window cleaners seat constructed in accordance with the present invention;

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view showing the seat member in top plan;

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view showing the seat in section;

Fig. t is a bottom plan view of the seat; and

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a means employed to limit the outward movement of the seat member.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the reference numeral 5 designates a window frame, and 6 designates the sill of the window.

In carrying out the invention, the window frame 5 is provided on each of its sides with an eye or similar member 7, and the sill 6 is provided with stirrup or the like 8, shown in detail in Fig. 5.

The reference numeral 9 designates a seat,

Serial No. 719,875.

and said seat is provided on its front edge with a hook member 10 adapted to engage the stirrup 8 to limit the outward movement of the seat 9. A suitable support 11 is socured to the underside of the seat and adapt ed to engage the sill near its outer edge in order to maintain the seat in a horizontal position.

An eye member 12 is secured to the rear edge of the seat, and loosely mounted in said eye member 12 there is a vertically extending member 13 having an eye 1a in its upper end.

Passing through the eye 14 of the vertically extending member 13 there is a flexible back rest 15, and said flexible back rest- 15 is provided on each of its ends with a hook 16. These hooks 16 are adapted to engage their respective eyes 7 to maintain the back rest 15 in operative position.

In operation the window cleaner sits upon the seat 9 with his back engaging the back rest 15, as shown in Fig. 1. After the window has been washed it is only neces-- sary to disengage the hooks 16 from their respective eyes 7 and the hooks 10 from the stirrup 8, and the entire seat is removable from the window.

hat I claim is A window cleaners seat comprising in combination, a stirrup adapted forsecurement to the window sill, a seat, a hook car ried by the front edge of the seat for engagement with said stirrup to limit outward movementof the seat, a supporting foot secured t0 the under face of the seat and adapted for engagement with the window sill, an eye carried by the rear edge of the seat and projecting upwardly therefrom, a vertically-disposed member loosely mounted in said eye and formed with a loop on its upper end, a flexible back rest positioned in the loop on the upper end of the verticallydisposed member, a plurality ofeyes adapted to be carried by the window frame, and hook members carried by the ends of the flexible back rest for engagement with said lastmentioned eyes.
